1.   Jared has strep throat.  He has been pretty sick & missed school on Friday and will miss tomorrow too.  He's been getting fevers and then he gets choked and vomits & it's just too much fun.  I just love freaking strep throat.  I can't wait to see who is next....ugh...

2.   Will FINALLY pooped in the potty all by himself today!  He's been pretty much pee trained to the potty since December/January.  He knew he was supposed to poop in there too, but he refused.  No matter how hard we tried to bribe him he wouldn't do it.  But today he did it!  We had a big dance and clappin party and let him pick whatever he wanted as a treat.  He wanted a piece of cheese and a diet pepsi.  Ok, whatever.  I'm distraught to inform you that about two hours later he told me he had to poop, I put him on the potty, he said he didn't have to and then went outside and pooped in his pants.  Oh well....small steps.

3.   Jared's other frog disappeared today.  I turned the light on in the aquarium and he was just gone.  We took the whole thing apart, including the filter, and he just vaporized.  We will probably find a dried up frog carcass later.  He was only 1/2 inch long so it is nearly impossible to find him if he hopped out above the filter.  Little sucker.

4.   Had the day from hell yesterday.  I told my friend about a GMC Jimmy that my brother was selling and we went up there to get it yesterday.  My brother lives 1 1/2 hours north of me so it was quite a haul.  Long story short...the thing started having some problems 15 mins after we left with it.  My friend had a nervous breakdown, cried, vomited, shook, just the whole thing.  My brother was willing to help her get it down here and pay to fix whatever was wrong...but she wasn't pleased.  Thing is that when we got it back to him, it was fine.  We hypothesize that there was some water in the gasoline she had just put in it because now it runs like a singer sewing machine.  Go figure.  But it made for a long day and an awkward position for me.  I was soooo happy to get home!  They are happy with the thing now and she is sorry for freaking out on my brother.  Ugh! 

5.   Only like a week and we will be going to San Diego!  We are really excited and looking forward to the trip.  We have been reading up on the area and how, exactly, one goes about going to Tijuana.  I read a whole article on how to haggle with a Tijuana shopkeeper, what to do and not to do, and all about the bull fights.  I don't think I want to go to a bullfight.  That sounds really grody....they really kill the bull!  Neh....I'll pass.  Apparently you just get to the border and then walk on in like it's an amusement park.  Getting back is another matter and can take a few hours.  I don't know if we will go or not.  I'm a bit chicken. 

7.   As for me?  I'm doing fine.  The past few days have been pretty decent (with exception of the fiasco yesterday).  I spent the day with my neighbor earlier in the week and it didn't bother me as badly to see her being pregnant.  Got an email today from friends of the family and they had a baby last week.  They had included some pictures of him and that didn't bother me either.  And I'm happy to report that the nice young woman from church who has suffered from infertility for years found out she was pregnant today!  I was ecstatic for her.  She has been such a source of comfort for me, despite her own problems.  How could I not be happy?!   So it's getting easier and that is good.  It's just a process that one has to go through.

Well it's about time for bed.  Jared is still up and watching TV (he had a huge nap this afternoon) and he needs to go too.  Hope you all have a great evening!
